Description
Butterscotch Crunch Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of butterscotch with a crunchy texture from graham crackers and nuts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips, crushed graham crackers, and chopped pecans (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream over the top.
- Slice and serve, enjoying the delightful crunch and sweetness!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of butterscotch extract to the batter.
- You can also substitute the pecans with walnuts or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.
- For a fun twist, drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream before serving.
